Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
That's a sharp looking truck. I like the Olds trim on it, and those Olds engines just look right in a hotrod. Back "in the day" if your car had an Oldsmobile engine you were the top dog.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Saturday was the Cherry Blossom poker run. It’s the first time I have went and we really enjoyed it. It was also 80 degrees which is rare this time of year for Oregon, so there were a lot of cars & trucks.
Unfortunately we didn’t take many photos.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I don't know if this counts but I finished making and gathering up the parts for the outriggers on the engine stand.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Hey Bam, your truck looks awesome. Great job and incentive for those of us who have stalled out. It looks great with the glass in and no chrome in the rubber. All your personal touches make it a subtle one off. It looks like it was supposed to be that way from factory. I hope you drive it with great pride, you deserve all the head turning and thumbs up.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I finished the outriggers on the engine stand. I feel a lot better about it especially when the 6-71 is hanging off the side.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
The monthly Cars and Coffee gathering at the country store had both sides of the road filled with classic vehicles. Oddly enough, I was the lone AD representative. This edition's theme was Cinco De Mayo, complete with hot chili. It's a nice little drive on rural backroads that keeps my truck limber and the battery charged.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
The weather here has been terrible so I decided to work on the blower. I need to take the front cover and snout off the 4-71 and put it on the 6-71. I also need to polish the back cover on the 6-71. This will be sticking out of the hood on the hot chick side of the truck. I'm also replacing the bolts with ARP 12 point bolts. I took out one of the bolts for sizing. I like the protective film for keeping grindings out of everything. Why aren't more people posting on this thread? This is one of the easiest sites to post pictures on. There has to be more people working on their trucks. Thank you for your time.

Mick53: I quit posting just because no one showed any interest it what I was doing with my truck and after 20+ posts with no responses... why do it. I take pride in everything I do, as does everyone else. I know most people don't have the money I put into mine, but "The Beast" is the last thing on my bucket list and I built it for my pleasure and what I want in a truck. Jim W |
